In the past two decades political philosophers have begun to investigate normative theorizing in both educational theory and the philosophy of education, raising awareness in these previously neglected areas. Now, prevailing in the areas of theory, research, policy, and practice, these subjects take center stage in the debate about the profound impact of normative theorizing on education, examining the issues of supporting a publicly mandated system of education that remains open to all students within a particular society, regardless of differentiating circumstances and characteristics, as well as the development of equitable provisions for diverse groups. In this monograph, six expertly written essays discuss the importance of Young's theoretical work and critical social analysis on the topics of differentiated citizenship, group-based politics, social justice, difference, democracy, equality, and inclusion, with particular focus on the educational import of these issues. Concluding with a reply from Young, this collection illuminates the discussion about the centrality of public education in a modern, pluralistic society. |
